ISBN: 9780815747093 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work explains the role of the US president in a separated system of government.

The Presidency in a Separated System
ISBN: 9780815747178 / Angielski / Miękka / 403 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Media coverage and popular interpretations of American government typically concentrate on the presidency.

Jones explains how too exclusive a focus on the presidency distorts the picture of how national government really works. He explores how presidents find their place in the permanent government and how they are "fitted in" by others, most notably those on Capitol Hill. Powerful though it may be, the Oval Office...

Religion and the Bush Presidency
ISBN: 9781403980076 / Angielski / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. George W. Bush has invited more analysis and controversy over the impact of religion on his presidency than perhaps any chief executive of the modern era.

This volume is a scholarly review and analysis of the role of religion in the Bush presidency. It is divided into two sections of essays by leading scholars: The first examines the impact of various religious voting...

Power and Prudence: The Presidency of George H. W. Bush

Bush took office in January 1989, he brought to the presidency an impressive resume. A former member of Congress, national party leader, CIA director, ambassador to China, and two-term vice president, he had the credentials and experience for a uniquely successful presidency. Less than four years later, the American electorate resoundingly proclaimed his administration a failure. Many pundits and scholars have echoed the voters' judgement. In a considered and balanced reassessment, Mark J. Rozell and Ryan J. Barilleaux ask whether the public and the pundits have applied the...

ISBN: 9781585445134 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Under the U.S. Constitution, Congress bears responsibility for establishing national policy through legislation, but in recent years that power has often been eclipsed by presidents adopting public policy by other means.

Using both statistical analyses of recent presidents= use of alternative policy means and case studies of each tool, Shull investigates the factors...

Scripted for Change: The Institutionalization of the American Presidency
ISBN: 9781585445851 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Without a doubt, the institution of the presidency today is quite different from the one that existed throughout the early part of the nation's history, despite only minimal revisions to its formal constitutional structure. The processes by which the institution of the presidency has developed have remained largely unexamined, however.
Victoria A. Farrar-Myers offers a carefully crafted argument about how changes in presidential authority transform the institution. Her analysis tracks interactions between the president and Congress during the years 1881-1920 in three policy areas: the...
